Real Marketing Technology

The title “Marketing Technologist” gets tossed around a lot these days. Most brands believe that this is an individual who can understand and implement better marketing automation solutions. I think that’s short-sighted. For over a decade, I have watched Stephan Spencer become a true marketing technologist. This is someone who deeply understands how to use technology to make marketing better. Not a little better. Exponentially better. We first met in the early days of speaking at the Search Engine Strategies conferences. From there, Stephan went on to publish three seminal books on digital marketing (The Art of SEO, Google Power Search and Social eCommerce). After hearing him talk about the brand opportunities in the digital space, you will want to do two things: One, hire him (which isn’t easy). Two, wonder how you can truly evolve your marketing team and think more lucidly (hint: have a notebook handy when you listen to this show). Enjoy the conversation…
